A vengeful spirit with no legs and a thirst for revenge crawls through Japan's darkest urban legend — and if you hear her coming, it may already be too late.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar. Seven days per week, Weird Darkness focuses on all thing strange and macabre such as haunted locations, unsolved mysteries, true ghost stories, supernatural manifestations, urban legends, unsolved or cold case murders, conspiracy theories, and more.

Listeners have described the show as a cross between “Coast to Coast” with Art Bell, “The Twilight Zone” with Rod Serling, “Unsolved Mysteries” with Robert Stack, and “In Search Of” with Leonard Nimoy.DISCLAIMER: Ads heard during the podcast that are not in my voice are placed by third party agencies outside of my control and should not imply an endorsement by Weird Darkness or myself. *** Stories and content in Weird Darkness can be disturbing for some listeners and intended for mature audiences only. Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: In Japanese folklore there lurks a vengeful spirit known as Teke Teke, her upper body dragging along at impossible speeds with a chilling "teke teke" sound. If you hear her approach, run fast and be kind to others, for her wrath falls upon the cruel - and those who are unlucky enough to cross her path may find themselves torn in two, joining her in death. (The Terrifying Tale of Teke Teke) *** Strange occurrences took place in 1955 on a property near Mayanup, West Australia. Bill and Ethel Hack witnessed a series of inexplicable phenomena which Ethel meticulously recorded. From eerie whistling sounds and stones falling from the sky to strange lights and violent disturbances, Ethel's detailed written account reveals the chaos and fear that gripped their property, affecting both the Hacks and their aboriginal workers. Despite numerous investigations, the mystery of the Mayanup poltergeist remains unresolved, captivating paranormal enthusiasts and researchers to this day. (The Mayanup Australia Entity) *** In June 1977, Portuguese Air Force pilot Jose Francisco Rodrigues encountered a mysterious UFO over the Castelo de Bode Dam, leading to a near-fatal dive and unexplained aircraft malfunctions. Despite numerous witnesses and a thorough investigation, the incident remains an unsolved incident. (The 1977 Near Miss With a UFO In Portugal) *** Just three days after Christmas in 1978, Bob Young and his girlfriend Elizabeth Andes were preparing to move out of their shared apartment in Oxford, Ohio. When Bob returned to help with the final cleanup, he found their apartment dark and silent. Inside, he discovered Elizabeth's lifeless body, brutally murdered in their bedroom, sparking a horrific mystery that would haunt the small college town for decades – and put Bob Young in the crosshairs of local law enforcement. (The Shocking Unsolved Murder of Elizabeth Andes) *** Everybody has heard of teleportation, alien abductions and poltergeists, but without the pioneering work of Charles Fort, it's unlikely any of these phenomena would have entered public consciousness.

“The right book is worth a hundred blades.” In this episode of Fictional Hangover, Amanda and Claire talk about everyone being dead-dead, creating a horror movie nightmare for the fun of it, how they would join the Jay Kristoff cult, seeing a villain origin story for a horse develop, being concerned by veiny members and tiny buns, and insisting everyone Make Vampires Evil Again! in their discussion of Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff.
We left off in the ill-fated Dryden, NY with two high school cheerleaders missing and a town in mourning for years of tragedy under its belt. In the second half of this series on the “Village of the Damned,” we'll go over the hunt for a murderer and the unfortunate string of deaths that followed.

Given that Statius claims a passage from The Aeneid made him see the error of his ways, Virgil wants to know how this poet of the Thebes could have ever become a Christian, particularly since his poetry shows little evidence of the faith.Statius replies with some of the most shocking lines in COMEDY: He became a Christian AND a poet because of the damned, pagan Virgil. Virgil's own poetry led Statius to his profession and his confession.To put it another way, Statius was redeemed, not by divine light, but a small human candle.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work our way through one of the most revelatory passages in all of PURGATORIO, lines that help us understand the framework of COMEDY.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:53] My English translation of the text: PURGATORIO, Canto XXII, lines 55 - 75.

Dryden, New York is your typical, small town nestled among forestry, ponds and plains. But in the 1990s, that peace was disrupted by a string of events so tragic it was hard not to suspect a site-specific curse. Dryden would come to be known for a time as the “Village of the Damned,” and in Part 1 of this series we'll trace the first half of this ominous decade there.

He'll explore the perspectives of Augustine, Aquinas, and John Duns Scotus from the Latin West juxtaposed against John of Damascus, Basil of Caesarea and Origen from the Christian East. Dr. Jacobs clears up misconceptions and shows that the Eastern Church Fathers were not open theists. The answers from the east may surprise you.

While the New York Knicks are on the precipice of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, said development neatly coincides with Erik and Lyle Menendez (shown above sitting courtside at a 1990 Knicks game) being eligible for parole, there is the likelihood, however slim, the convicted parent-slayers might actually be front and center when Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Townes et al capture New York's first NBA Championship in 52 years. Of course, this would require someone else being supplanted from Celebrity Row and today's program will consider who is the best self-obsessed candidate to get the heave-ho. It really should not take two hours to determine MICHAEL RAPAPORT is the obvious choice (while he's not a double murderer, he's been murdering acting, sports yak and world affairs commentary for longer than anyone cares to remember) and that's very good because I had to find some way of cramming in nearly two hours of music this week. Current events be damned, with the possible exception of The Damned's local appearance this Saturday night (which neatly coincides with my referring to Jalen Brunson as Captain Sensible).

With Marcel and his vampires still trapped in the Mikaelson compound, Marcel faces additional stress as he hallucinates/remembers World War 1. We see the growth of Marcel as a leader, and if he can lead a group who is in the trenches drinking dirty cocoa and being left without gas masks certainly he can handle a group of vampires facing the equally difficult adversity of being hungry. The werewolves are now back in the bayou after escaping last week, and Hayley and Jackson start preparing for the wedding. But with rituals revealed, it's starting to feeling uneasy trusting Jackson. Meanwhile, the Mikaelson brothers get trapped by Finn in a “chamber de chasse”, where Finn shares how he has been piecing things together but still does not quite know his brothers. The vampires escape, Davina reunites with Kol after he survives the mob of hungry vampires, and the werewolves appear to be one step closer to unification.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Maria Cardona, Democratic strategist, CNN commentator, Principal at the Dewey Square Group, and founder of Latinovations. We unpack the chaos surrounding Trump's administration this week. From mass deportations, including U.S. citizens and children, to the administration's open defiance of the Supreme Court, we examine how due process is being shredded in real time. We also break down the economic fallout of Trump's reckless tariffs, his crumbling international reputation, and the media's complicity in normalizing authoritarian behavior. With misinformation spreading from the White House podium and a growing disinformation echo chamber, Maria and I make the case for why now, more than ever, Americans must speak up, show up, and vote.

Send us your movie recommendations!Captain and Wilson dive into John Carpenter's 1995 sci-fi horror film Village of the Damned, a remake that fails to capture the magic of the 1960 original but delivers some campy entertainment value. It stars Christopher Reeve, Kirstie Alley, and Mark Hamill.The film discussion begins around 20:30.

In preparation for the start of the summer movie season, Tim is joined by Brian and Caleb, who are all a little surprised to find that they're finally looking forward to some of the wide releases of 2025, after a wobbly first third of the calendar year. But before we get to the wild and thrilling spectacle of popcorn movie season, it's one of the most sober-minded movie roundtables we've ever held, as Caleb finally catches up with legendary grim war movie Come and See, while Brian learns all about the savage sexism of the indie film industry thanks to Chasing Chasing Amy. Tim, meanwhile has a pair of Patreon requests to talk about that are almost as fun: Freya Neeley has assigned him the paranoid anti-communist ravings of the vicious-hearted If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?, while CRD has given him the gaudy nightmare spectacle of Nazism consuming German culture in Luchino Visconti's The Damned. And stick around for Caleb's update on his game Let Us Build a Tower. Tim apologizes for the odd fade-outs in the audio - something buggy happened with the recording, and he's trying to figure out how to make sure it doesn't happen again next time.

Even ten millennia later, Chaos Lords are known to attract these followers of Chaos into their warbands and personal armies, which vary greatly in both size and strength.Traitoris Militarum troops are often better armed than the average Chaos Cultist and have access to a wide assortment of arms at their disposal. Sadly, throughout the last ten millennia, occasionally entire Imperial Guard companies, or even entire regiments, have been known to turn from the light of the Emperor and join the ranks of the Lost and the Damned, taking with them their armouries and vehicles.Support the show

Have you ever said the words from the Creed at Mass, “he descended into hell” and wondered, “Really? Jesus did? Why?” The Catechism shares the secrets of this line from the Creed and shows us how Jesus' descent into hell “brings the Gospel message of salvation to complete fulfillment.” Fr. Mike makes it clear to us that Jesus did not come to save only the righteous who happened to be alive during his time here on earth, but he came to save all those righteous men and women who came before him and would come after him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 631-637. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
